1. Helps in working environment to see object 2. May inter fare with visual performance
17 Vibration in any form of oscillating motion that changes its magnitude periodically and is of operational significance in
aviation because
1. It does not impair visual acuity 2. It may impair visual acuity 3. Interfere with neuromuscular control and lead to
fatigue 4. Both 2&3
18 The success of communication program depends on
1. Non verbal /gesture communication 2. The degree to which the intended massage is understood by the receiver
3. Background noise problem
19 For the study of information related to the investigation human factors issues are obtained from
1. Advisory circular 2. Information circular 3. Maps
4. Chart/navigation (check list)
20 error tolerance refers to
1. Error reduction strategies which includes improving access to part 2. The ability of a system to accept en error with
out catastrophic consequences
21 study of efficiency of a person, study of human machine system design is
1. Agronomics 2. Ergonomics 3. Human factor 4. None
22 Factor that effect the human performance
1. noise 2. Environment 3. As in 1&2 light and darkness 4. None
23 The difference between what a person can do and what he will do
1. Motivation 2. Communication 3. Culture
24 the frequency of vibration, acceleration changes which effect
1. Visual acuity 2. Neuromuscular system 3. Fatigue 4. Any of the above
25 A condition reflecting inadequate rest is called
1. Circadian rhythm disturbance 2. Fatigue 3. None
26 The difference between attitude and personality is
1. Relevant 2. irrelevant 3. As in 1 and attitude can be changed through training 4. As in 2and
personality can be changed through training
27 A person whose ideas and act’s influence thought and behavior of other
1. Leader 2. Supervisor 3. Co ordination 4. Manager
28 The stress due to noise, temp., humidity is called
1. Environmental stress 2. Mental stress 3. Cognitive stress
29 Coffin in coffee and tea has effect
1. Reduces the reaction time 2. Increases the reaction time 3. As in 1 nad disturb sleep
30 Transequilizers and sleeping tablets
1. Adequate and doctor advice 2. Inadequate 3. As in 2 and affect human performance
31 Glare produces causes
1. Discomfort and annoyance 2. As in 1 and may interfere with visual performance
32 When inspection is carried out over fuselage and wing the performance of AME depends
1. Mental status of AME 2. Health and physical status of AME 3. Social status of AME
33 Error tolerance means
1. The ability of a system to accept an error with out catastrophic consequences
34 Factor affecting training
1. Discomfort 2. As in 1 and low motivation
35 Training program of an organization is for
1. To develop interpersonal relationship 2. Increase group decision making 3. As in 2 and develop interpersonal skill
36 To eliminate error completely is unrealistic so the design of a/c should be
